Thanks J_Dubble Agent_007.I So much want to pour out my heart on this discussion board.It would not be fair to others if i were to act as if i was the only one who has been affected after over 30 years of service to the wbts.Yet my only entreaty is the one NEHEMIAH cried out to god.His last words are recorded at NE.13:31.Do remember me,o my god,for good.BlueBlades
